  HaNDL syndrome is a rare clinical condition characterized where episodes of severe headache and transient neurological focus with peculiarities in the CSF occur. It is considered a benign course disorder due to its reversible and self-limiting nature.
  We report the case of a 12-year-old girl who visits the hospital for a two-week headache and monoparesis of her left upper limb. After initial assessment in the emergency department, a CT scan was performed with normal results and a lumbar puncture from which a CSF was obtained showing lymphocytic pleocytosis. Brain MRI showed intracranial hypertension (IH) compatible data. After the results of the complementary tests, she was diagnosed with HaNDL syndrome and was prescribed symptomatic treatment, showing progressive clinical improvement.
  HaNDL syndrome is a rare and little-known clinical entity which, due to its peculiarities, may cause concern. Cases and series of cases published in the literature exist in adult patients, being a rarer pathology in the paediatric population. Its differential diagnosis is wide and includes potentially lethal pathologies. Therefore, it is useful to know the clinical characteristics and natural evolution of this process in the differential diagnosis of headaches with transient neurological deficit.
